Ben: ‘Mike McCarthy has heart for this team’

From Teresa Varley, Steelers.com:


Former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was a guest on SNR’s ‘In the Locker Room‘ with Rob King and Max Starks on Wednesday, talking about new head coach Mike McCarthy.

“I think it’s a great hire,” said Roethlisberger. “I think it’s smart for a few reasons. There’s something to be said about a Pittsburgh guy. I know that that’s not going to win games necessarily, but he understands what it is to bleed black and gold. I know he’s coached elsewhere, but you’re telling me that deep down inside him, he didn’t always have black and gold run through his veins a little bit. There’s something there.

“I understand this team, and this city will always bleed defense and running the ball,” said Roethlisberger. “But at some point, you’ve got to keep up with the Joneses, and you got start scoring some points. And it doesn’t mean that you’re taking anything away from your defense. So that’s another reason I like this hire.
